The present work is a summary of Spanish poetry, offered as a spontaneous tribute of affectionate admiration to the contemporaneous Spanish poet--both Peninsular and American--from his English-speaking brethren of the north. This anthology is also offered in the belief that it will greatly facilitate the work of the writer or lecturer on Spanish poetry who has been handicapped by the great difficulty in obtaining English versions adequate to illustrate his theme. For this person, or the student or general reader, the selections are arranged in chronological order, with extensively researched bibliographical notes. The translators have presented in English some of the greatest poets writing in Spanish, while preserving the beauties of this literature
